Free Stock Photos – Where To Get Them From

Advertisement

One thing that has always been a very integral part of web design is photography. One of the most unfortunate things about this, however, is that we’ve come across nothing but mediocre stock photos of men in suits shaking hands. In addition to not only being extremely tacky, these kinds of photos can also cost a lot of money to purchase and use.

The key thing to putting together an awesome website is the use of good images; however, finding just the right ones can actually be difficult. This ends up leaving you with the following options:

  • Take the photos yourself
  • Buy images from a photographer or a stock photo website
  • Find free images that are available for immediate use

If you have ever attempted to search across the internet for free stock photos, chances are you know just how much of a hassle that process can be.

As previously mentioned, finding free stock photos can be rather difficult. Large portions of stock photo markets are actually owned by different professional companies. These companies can charge up to $20 per photo, maybe even more. If you are lucky enough to find stock photos for free, most of them appear to be blurry, watermarked, and have low resolutions, as well as being non-inspiring in nature.

Thankfully, there is now a growing list of websites that contain wonderful and inspiring stock photography for absolutely free.

Check out the following list of free stock photography websites. In addition, be sure to make note of any details regarding licensing terms for any images you download.
